SyFy has been promising to air the pilot for their second new superhero show, Three Inches and they have just announced that it is coming to fruition. On December 29th, the pilot to Three Inches will air on SyFy and bring back vampire stars Kyle Schmid ( Henry Fitzroy from Blood Ties) and James Marster (Spike from Buffy and Angel). .
The show is about a young man who discovers he has the power of psychokinesis and can move things three inches. He then decides to collect others who have super powers and form his own little superhero group.
Here is a list of characters that SyFy has released thus far:
- Jace Alexander (Rescue Me, Prison Break) is directing the pilot, written by Harley Peyton (Twin Peaks), who also serves as executive producer. Fox Television Studios is producing with Executive Producer Robert Cooper, through his company Landscape Entertainment. J.J. Jamieson heads up television for Landscape Entertainment.
- James Marsters will star as Troy Hamilton, a former government agent who takes Walter in to his own team of “super” heroes who fight evil wherever they find it. He is a father figure to Walter.
- Andrea Martin will play Belinda Spackman, Walter’s mother, a brutally honest, comically cynical force of nature that loves her son more than words can say and will do anything to protect him.
- Stephanie Jacobsen plays Watts, a beautiful “super” hero who has the ability to shape the emotions of anyone she meets at close range.
- Antony Del Rio will portray The Human Smell, an adventurous, often irritating teenager who is able to emit a pungent gas through his pores that disables anyone nearby.
- Naoko Mori plays Annika, a woman who can duplicate and broadcast any sound she hears.
- Kyle Schmid will play Brandon, the “super” hero team leader with all the cockiness and strength of a true action hero, minus the superpowers. He is the opposite of Walter and sees most of the team as freaks.
- Brandon Jay McLaren plays Macklin Sportello, Walter’s best friend, a big talker with not a lot to back it up. His relationship is tested when Walter begins to change, but he’s the friend that will always be there for him.
- Alona Tal will guest star in the pilot as Lily Theroux, the kind, pretty girl next door and Walter’s long time crush who loves him but “not in that way.”
So, what do you think? Is there enough room for Three Inches on SyFy? Are you looking forward to James Marsters and Kyle Schmid returning to television?
